Chapter 178 Movements from all sides
Seeing this, the Cai family patriarch, Cai Lifu, knew that the situation was hopeless. He was terrified, his eyes wide like copper bells, and he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Run! This Xiangxi Corpse King is not someone we can fight!"
Yang Hao, the patriarch of the Yang family, was also filled with fear, like a frightened bird. "Quick, everyone run!"
The two clan leaders turned and ran wildly, as if a thousand troops were chasing them.
They fled in a disheveled state, like two terrified stray dogs, wishing they had more legs. They ran away in disarray, leaving behind a bloody and desperate battlefield, a desolate wasteland.
The Li family was basically wiped out by these corpse-driving people.
This caused them to fall out of the ranks of the three major corpse-driving families.
In western Hunan, only two businesses remain.
Those are the Cai family and the Yang family!
.............................
When they saw someone running, the others followed suit.
For a moment, the scene became chaotic.
Upon seeing this, the Xiangxi Corpse King roared in anger and then began to frantically tear at the corpse drivers.
These are his food, his resources for becoming stronger!
Those Li family members who are stuck in the mire are really unlucky and can't get out at all.
The Cai and Yang families, who offered only a few words of help and then ran away, did indeed flee.
However, a small number of people were caught, but none of them were seriously injured, unlike the Li family who suffered such severe damage.
After escaping, both the Cai and Yang families looked into the distance, panting heavily.
They were really scared.
"Damn it, thank goodness we ran fast, otherwise we would have been wiped out!" Cai Lifu said through gritted teeth.
He truly hadn't expected the Xiangxi Corpse King to be so difficult to deal with.
"Yes, but what do we do now?" Yang Hao asked.
"What else can we do but wait for the Taoist sect to handle it! Anyway, it was those tomb raiders who released the Xiangxi Corpse King; it has little to do with us!"
Cai Li Fo rolled his eyes at the old man.
"Alright, but let's divide the Li family's assets equally first, then find out what the Taoist sect is up to, and cooperate with them. That way we can save face and gain some reputation!"
“Okay!” Cai Li Fo agreed and nodded.
"But how do we split it equally?"
"Easy, just write down two locations, toss them into the air, and we'll catch them ourselves!"
"it is good!"
Subsequently, Cai Li Fo of the Cai family won the first prize and was allocated a relatively lucrative territory.
This made Yang Hao grit his teeth in anger.
But there's nothing we can do; a loss is a loss.
..........................
After the Cai and Yang families divided up the Li family's property, they each sent out their trusted servants to gather information.
Investigate the movements of the Taoist sect.
However, they quickly found out.
After all, the Taoist sect mobilized so many people this time, totaling a thousand Taoist priests.
It was quite a sight to behold.
The lowest level of these officials is a Taoist priest who is a teacher of men, which shows how much importance is attached to the Xiangxi Corpse King this time!
The Cai family.
night.
At night, the moonlight shines like water on the courtyard, giving the whole place a mysterious feel, as if countless stories are waiting to be discovered.
In a side hall of the Cai family, a trusted servant of the Cai family rushed over to report.
"Master, I have learned that the Taoist sect is gathering in a valley dozens of miles away. I heard that there are already over a thousand people there, and they seem to be discussing how to deal with the Corpse King."
Cai Li Fo raised an eyebrow slightly: "Oh? I wonder who's leading the team this time?"
The servant shook his head: "I don't know."
"Damn it, what kind of tricks are they playing at this gathering? Are they all fencing or playing basketball over there?" Cai Li Fo muttered to himself.
“Alright, go down.” Cai Lifu nodded.
"Yes sir."
Seeing the servants leave, Cai Li Fo sprang into action, gathering his men to head out and join the troupe!
Meanwhile, a servant from the Yang family also reported back.
"Master, the Taoists are indeed gathered in a valley in western Hunan, but they haven't made any moves yet. It seems they're setting up tents, like they're having a picnic!"
Yang Hao stroked his beard and pondered for a moment: "Damn! Picnic? What time is it? Oh well, let's gather our men and go!"
"It seems this gate is all hype. So many people are gathered there doing nothing. Are they setting up tents to sing, dance, and play basketball?" Yang Hao thought, stroking his white beard.
The servant did not answer, but simply listened.
"By the way, has there been any movement from the Cai family?"
The servant of the Yang family nodded: "The Cai family is also keeping a close eye on it, but it seems they have already set off."
Yang Hao snorted coldly: "Hmph, then we must strengthen our contact with the Daoist sect. We can't let the Cai family seize the initiative."
"Yes!"
The servant responded.
Then Yang Hao went to gather more people.

the other side.
On a road in the middle of nowhere.
At this moment, Qianhe, Simu, Lin Fengjiao, and several others from the east, west, south, and north are heading towards western Hunan.
Just as they were about to reach western Hunan, they discovered their fellow disciples from Maoshan.
That is, the Maoshan team led by Elder Mao Chunhua!
